you may have misunderstood me, here.  When I used the dos version of
ACAD, I had the function keys redefined to do endp, midp, etc.  You
need to load ansi.sys in the config.sys file, and load and unload the
keyboard definitions through your acad.bat file.  If you are using the
dos version and are interested in this, let me know and I'll run you
through the basics (I'll need to retrieve them from the grayer reaches
of my mind first :)
IU>  Will that work with TAN, END, MID, QUA, CEN selections as it's
IU>  those that I cannot shorten to single keys
yes, that is specifically why I the defined function keys.  I had F11
and F12 mapped to 'zoom w and 'zoom p (respectively) and F5 - F8 were
the endp, midp, cent, perp; Alf-F5 - Alt-F8 were int, etc.
another favorite of mine is the keyboard + to , so that coordinate
data entry was all right there.  F3 became @ and F4 became <, for polar
coordinate entry.
if you're using ACAD/DOS and are interested, let me know and I'll go
into greater detail.
